TEACHING TEMPERANCE.

The Great Work Being Carried On in the
Public Schools Through the w. C. 7. U.
Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, National Super
intendent of Scientific Instruction for
the w. G. T. o., has officially an
nounced four different tests for deter
mining the fitness of textbooks and
charts that purport to teach scientific
Temperance. AS the time seems fast
approaching when our public schools
will require such works for their pre-
scribed course of study, it is essential
that they be most carefully selected.
Mrs. Hunts acquaintance with tho
matter qualities her to speak with
authority, and the rules laid down by her
are deserving of attention from parents,
teachers and those who control our
educational forces throughout the
Republic. To them we commend her
utterances, which are so terSely put
that they are given verbatim:
First-Are the origin and poisonous
character of alcoholic drinks described
that is, the nature of beer, wine, cider.
etc.? If only the effects of alcohol arc
mentioned, and little or nothing is said
against the specific drinks containing
alcohol such a book is incomplete, is
evasive and does not comply with the
laws which specify that 1.-THE effects Of
alcoholic drinks" shall be taught-the
object being to warn the pupil against
such beverages, containing alcohol, as
he will be tempted to take.
Seconds the aforesaid topic made
the principle theme of the book, or is it
subordinate to the physiology? If so,
such a book is not physiology and
hygiene, with special reference to the
effects of alcoholic drinks" etc.
Text books for intermediate and pri-
mary grades, to honestly comply with
the intent of the law, should at least
give one-forth of their space to alcO-
holics and narcotics.
Third-Are the effects of these drinks
fully stated? If their agreeable results
are pictured, and, in the same cOnnec-
ton nothing is said of their dangers,
such book is unsafe. If the book de-
nounces drunkenness with little or no
warning against beginning to drink, it
will not offend the brewer or moder-
ate drinker, and will not emphatically
teach total abstinence.
Fourth-The book should be adapted
to grade. If primary or intermediate
scholars can not understand the works
designed for them, the study of those
important grades will inevitably prove
failure.--N. Y Witness.

"WHAT would the world do without
alcohol" asks an exchange. 1t would
be such a sober old world that it would
find no use for its police stations and
almshouses. This may not be the right
answer, but it is the best we can think
of at present. -NorristcaCn Herald.
VIRCHow says that beer drinkers
have hypertrophied kidneys. This con-

congestion in which the organ must be
maintained in order that it may perform

cans makes their attitude towards
women too frequently a national re-
proach. We are too apt to think that
this kind ofinidelity to high ideal is
found only in company with filth and
squalor, where
1.-THE vitriol madness flushes up in the ruflan's
head.
Till the filthy by-lane rings to the yell Of the
trampled wife
But there is a certain brutality in the
disregard even of educated and pros
porous society to the protest of woman
against the saloon, to the magnitude
and poignancy of the suffering it
causes her, ana especially to the cruel
wrongs it inficts upon her motherhood.
Never were there so many appliances
in operation for the improvement of
men. Never were the opportunities
for leading the higher life so abundant
If in spite of this multiplication of
spiritual and intellectual helps, of all
the refining and expanding educational
machinery which surrounds the nine
teenth-century citizen, he is not
cleaner, pm'er, less animal man, it is
largely because he remains under this
sinister dominion. Exaggeration of the
influenced itself would be difficult. There
is in the city of the period nothing so
much in evidence as the saloon. You
can walk down one of the avenues of
New York, and count always one
and sometimes two in every block for
miles. There may be scarcity of
any other kind of stores, but there is
never lack of these. Nor are they at
all confined to the squallid areas.
They flourish amid brown-stone blocks
as sturdily as amid tenement houses.
They have their c1ientage everywhere.
The wealthy club-man frequents his
favorite bar as regularly as the thirsty
laborer. There is difference in ex-
ternals, but not much more. Whether
man be worth million dollars or
twenty-five cents, he can get but one
series of sensations and effects from
drink. He may, if wealthy, get them
in a more ornamental and pleasant
way, but that is the extent of-the dis
tinction between the saloons of the rich
and those of the poor George Frederic
Parsons, IN atlantic Monthly.
